net/http: tests failing on Plan 9 since CL 31173

[0intro]

Since CL 31173 the HTTP server relies on deadlines to read requests from clients. This change broke various tests in the net/http package, because deadlines aren't implemented on Plan 9 yet.

2016/10/18 03:15:56 httptest.Server blocked in Close after 5 seconds, waiting for connections:
  *net.TCPConn 0x10976f98 127.0.0.1:47045 in state active
  *net.TCPConn 0x10976110 127.0.0.1:43006 in state active
panic: test timed out after 3m0s
FAIL    net/http    180.069s

To be clear, the fix here is to implement deadlines on Plan 9, right?

[bradfitz]

Yes. And there's now a pending CL for it too.

Yes, we have to implement deadlines on Plan 9.
I've proposed an experimental implementation in CL 31521, which is able to pass the currents tests (and more).
